Who was named Chelsea manager in June 2013?

José Mourinho was named Chelsea manager in June 2013.

Chelsea announced his return on 3 June 2013, appointing him for a second spell after Rafael Benítez’s interim tenure ended. Mourinho signed a four-year contract and returned to Stamford Bridge after three seasons managing Real Madrid.

His first Chelsea spell ran from 2004 to 2007, when he won two consecutive Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups. He had become famous at Porto after guiding the Portuguese club to the 2004 UEFA Champions League title, which helped earn him the nickname “The Special One.”

A common mix-up is the exact timing: Mourinho was announced in June, but his second Chelsea tenure was associated with the 2013–14 season. At his introductory press conference, he playfully called himself “The Happy One.” He later won the Premier League and League Cup with Chelsea in 2014–15.
